Verdict

Just the six line up for and any one of them could land this. Daisy Boy will dictate the pace and having won over 1m5f this uphill finish will be to his benefit. He normally takes a run or two to reach his peak and the booking of the champion rider looks significantly timed. Deep Challenger went well enough at Goodwood off this mark to be a threat but the vote goes to PUMBLECHOOK. Two miles found him out last time but he had gone well behind a well treated rival prior to that. His form of last year puts him on an attractive mark and showed he is suited to a stiff 1m4f such as this. With Daisy Boy to ensure a fair gallop he has a lot going for him.
  1. Pumblechook
  2. Daisy Boy
  3. Deep Challenger
